pool users and workers are already in our API.butwe had 287 users and 800 or so Gh a while backright now we showPool: [ 4,858.78 GHash/s | 300 Users | 775 Workers and 1 user with 2.8Th/sand a couple of days ago 7Th with 309 users

personally I don't think user numbers are a good indicator currently unless you also look at user hashrates.

Yes, the hashrate distribution varies widely between pools.

If we could a majority of pools to provide a simple API - just a list of each user accounts' 24 hour average D1 equivalent hashrates - it would make the comparisons more valid, and possible to perform weekly.

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a transaction fee.

Many more ASICs came online this week - the average weekly network hashrate increased by about 10Thps to ~49 Thps, and many of those went to BTCGuild who alone accounted for ~ 36% of the network. The only other pools to see a significant increase in their share of the network was HHTT who now are in the top five pools, and Bitparking. Many pools had an increase in their hashrate, but none of them significantly more than the network increase.

As usual, please post comments if there's anything you don't understand, with which you disagree, or just think is wrong.

Changelog:Figure 3 (top 10 hashrate history) is back to using a base 10 logarithmic y axis since some pools which once had a very high proportion of the network have a much lower proportion and visa versa. The only way to show a comparison is by using a log y axis.

Slush's pool - was being hopped for about 5 days during the week. Still not much though, and I doubt it's having a significant impact on fulltime miner earnings.

The weekly average network hashrate increased by ~ 6 Thps this week. BTCGuild's hashrate only increased by another 2Thps, with 38% of the network blocks for this week. Pool op eleuthria has decided on a number of proposals to limit BTCGuild's influence over the network, including increasing the pool fee if the pool's proportion of the network exceeds 40%. This is a move I applaud, and is a good indicator of eleuthria's commitment to bitcoin and not just profits.

"Unknown" is down to 5% of the network. There are a few pools of which I know that I can't yet include in the weekly stats, and between them they account for about 2% of the netwrok - so there's still 3% completely unknown. So still no indication that any significant number of ASICs are going solo.

HHTT lost 90% of their hashrate in the past few days, in the wake of concerns about pool bankruptcy - an ever present possibility for a PPS only pool. Pool op fireduck is busy changing the payout method to PPLNS and has assured all miners that all owed earnings will be paid. Since fireduck also works for SatoshiDice, I'd have to guess he can make good on that commitment.

ecki, previously small pool ( run by a German fellow permanently work-vacationing on Koh Samui , and of whom I'm rather jealous ) just increased their hashrate by 1000% with the addition of someone with about 7 Avalon's worth of hashrate. Unfortunately I can't yet include them in the network stats since their page is a bit hard to scrape, but I hope to include them soon.

As usual, please post comments if there's anything you don't understand, with which you disagree, or just think is wrong.

Changelog:Figure 8 (Chart of fulltime miner earnings loss at a proportional pool caused by pool hoppers) has been removed since very little pool hopping has occurred. Instead, figure 8 is now the user hashrate distribution, as a follow up to post 12.1 The pre-ASIC network hashrate distribution.

Pools missing from results:

None, although MTRED (which sadly closed it doors this week) will be missing from next weeks' results. They're included this week since there were nine blocks solved by the pool during the current week before they closed.

Pool hopping:NoneBTCGuild is almost at 40% of the weekly average network hashrate this week (although only 36.7% of network blocks, thanks to some bad luck). The pool is keeping pace with the increase in weekly average network hashrate, ~ 6 Thps. This is good new for the pool and the network in general - on average, miners are choosing not to start at BTCGuild or move there from other pools.

Bitminter has become a top 5 hashrate pool and Slush's pool is vying with 50BTC.com to hit second spot - back to where it was when DeepBit was king.

As usual, please post comments if there's anything you don't understand, with which you disagree, or just think is wrong.

I like the new violin plot of hashrate distribution among miners in a pool.

What kind of API/data do you prefer, to add more pools there?

Glad you like!

CSV or JSON - doesn't really matter since I just need a vector of hashrates in Ghps, nothing else.

What I'd really like is the 24 hour average hashrate per user account. Is 24 hours a problem? Not many pools average for that long, but I suspect that has to do with what miners want rather than what I want

I've also meant to ask Graet about this - Ozcoin's Hall of Fame lists shares contributed per miner, but I'm not sure over what sort of time period, or whether they're D1 equivalent.

Any pool op that doen't yet publish these stats but wants to be added is welcome to post here or PM me. I want to (at some point) provide a chart of how each pool's hashrate distribution changes over time.

If you haven't already done so, could you run an analysis testing whether there are possibly ASICs mining above and beyond what ASICMINER and Avalon have publicly noted?

The pre-ASIC network hashrate was 24500 Ghps and the max total from Avalons and ASICMiner is 32000Ghps. The current total is about 68000 Ghps. That leaves 11500 Ghps, or more (I'm still not sure if all Avalons have shipped or if ASICMiner is hashing at more than the 7Thps on BTCGuild).

It could just be that because the increase in price made GPU's viable again, a whole bunch more were added. Sorry I can't be more specific.

The good news is that I did just come up with a great band name if any bitcoin mining musicians want need one: ASICMiner and the Avalons. "ooh hash it, hash it real good...."

My GPUs have been more profitable the last two months than at any point last year, only 2Q 2011 was more lucrative

Dacentec, best deals for US dedicated servers. They regularly restock $20-$25 Opterons with 8-16GB RAM & 2x1-2TB HDD's (ofc, usually lots of other good stuff to choose from). I did a Serverbear benchmark of one of my $20/mo Opteron (June last year), it's here. Have had about a half dozen different servers with Dacentec, & none have failed to sustain at least 40MB/s (burst higher). My favorite is a 12-month rent-to-own ZT Systems 2XL5520 16GB 2x2TB SATA for $40/month (got lucky with the 'off-brand', haven't seen a RTO 2xL5520 for under $50/mo since -- at least for monthly contracts). wholesaleinternet.com has some ancient 2-core intel CPUs @ $10/mo sometimes (I got an Intel Core 2 6300 @ 1.86GHz, with a 250GB HDD with 46000 hours on it, LOL. $20 @ Dacentec is much better, if you can grab one). joesdatacenter.com (same location as Wholesale Internet) also occasionally has specials (or if you don't want to wait, it has an AMD Opteron 170 @ $16/mo).

Would be nice to see the luck (graphical) of the pools like on ozco website:https://ozco.in/content/luck-bitcoin(for me it seems that deepbit was very lucky last time and it would be interesting if this is right or wrong..)

For some reason I can't see the Ozco.in charts at the moment - they're just appearing blank to me. Can you post a screen grab or describe them?

In the mean time, the chart below gives the luck for the week. A dot at 0.5 is median luck, lower than this is good luck, and higher than this is bad luck.
